Incorrect solution, it should be 1. Qd7+ Bxd7 2. Nd6#. After 2. Nf6+? Black can escape via 2. ... Kf7 and there is no mate, Black wins.

After 2...Kf7, Black has the upper hand.

I would have suggested (as you wrote);

1.Qd7+ Bxd7

2.Nf6+ Kd8

and then 3.Re8#

It's just a bad version of Pollock's mate (see edited message above).

Thats right, Nd6 is better. The answer is correct, nothing wrong with it?

Except it isn't mate on the second move, the king can move to d8, as is shown in his solution.
